Connecting to a wireless network
Place the Stream Magic 6 in range of your wireless network (usually 10-30m of a

of your building) and turn it on, via the back panel switch and then on the front
panel.
The Stream Magic 6 will automatically connect and obtain an IP address from your
wireless network. For advanced users, if you would like to give your Stream Magic 6

As an 'aggregator' service we are simply organising the browsing and
connection process for these stations so that you don’t have to manually search for
them or type in any URLs (web links) etc to access them. Whilst we regularly check
the stations to make sure they are still transmitting reliably and in reasonable
quality we are not responsible for their content in any way.
As well as the thousands of stations we offer if you want to listen to a particular
station that is not included in our service you can add it via the Stream Magic
website at
ZZZVWUHDPPDJLFFRP
, see later section. You can also visit the

website and put in a request suggesting new stations for us to
add to the service. We welcome your feedback.
It is not necessary to register your Stream Magic 6 to use the free Stream Magic
Internet Radio service but by registering you will be able to edit settings on your
Stream Magic 6 via the website, manage your presets, set up new 3rd party
Streaming Services and more.
